What is the Michael Chekhov Technique?

The Michael Chekhov technique is a psycho-physical acting technique that uses movement and imagination to foster transformation. 

At its heart, Chekhov work seeks truth in performance; Inspired acting rooted in the connection between inner life and outer movement. 

"All the points of the method can be understood from the point of view of transforming the outer thing into the inner life, and changing the inner life into the outer event."

A New Kind of Gesture

with Dawn Arnold

MICHA Monday August is OPEN FOR ALL!

 

“ It is a special kind of gesture which is rich and without boundaries. It is the greatest aid to us.”  

Michael Chekhov Archives Jan 16, 1937

​

Is it time to dig in a bit deeper, to ask ourselves what Chekhov means by gesture? Let’s explore a concept we love - or are learning to love: how to act by means of gesture. Michael Chekhov made gesture the core of his approach. Let’s challenge ourselves to get some new views of gesture. Bring a role, a bit of text, or a vision you would like to create. We’ll find it with gesture!
